Joseph L. White, 23, of Trenton and James L. Crawford, 22, of Otis died after the vehicle White was driving crossed over into the opposite lane and struck an oncoming car before going off the road, hitting an embankment and rolling over, according to the Hancock County Sheriff’s Office. Police on Monday were still investigating why White lost control of his 1998 Acura Integra.

Another passenger in White’s car, 20-year-old Ali Gray of Trenton, was seriously injured in the crash and taken to Eastern Maine Medical Center. None of the occupants of White’s car were wearing seat belts and, as a result, were all ejected from the vehicle, police said.

The two occupants of the other car suffered minor injuries and were taken to local hospitals for treatment.
